Summary
Those who have come to love Miss Read's delightfully humorous novels of country life will be enraptured by these two autobiographical volumes, affectionate and unashamedly nostalgic accounts of her childhood.
In A Fortunate Grandchild, Miss Read draws on her gentle and colourful memories of Grandma Read in Lewisham and Grandma Shafe in Walton-on-the-Naze, and their rambling, flock-wallpapered houses full of nooks and forbidden adult mysteries, which provided young Dora with a bedrock of security in the uncertain days of the Great War.
Time Remembered describes the three years - 1921 to 1924 - that Miss Read spent at the village school in Chelsfield, Kent - one of the happiest periods of her life.

Time remembered
I have listened to all her books a way of life that I like. I also enjoyed her biography knowing something about her life and best of all hearing her voice.

Wonderfully nostalgic...
I have been a huge fan of Miss Read for many many years, and it was so lovely to hear her voice as she tells the story of her childhood . It was like listening to an old friend reminiscing of times gone by.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend.

Delightful
This was particularly good as both books were read by the author herself. It was lovely to hear the voice that has written so many stories that have captivated us all over the years
